Dear Stephen, dear Mike
as you might know, I have built some scripts in FriCAS (a fork of
Axiom) (http://fricas.sourceforge.net/) in order to build libaxiom.al
from scratch. Unfortunately, I can neither distribute libaxiom.al nor
some necessary .as files under the same license as FriCAS (mBSD),
since this code is only available under the Aldor Public License 2.0.
I hereby kindly ask you to release the following files under a BSD
license (same as for the Axiom code).
https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/algebraist/trunk/aldor/lib/libax0/axiom.as
https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/algebraist/trunk/aldor/lib/libax0/axextend.as
https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/algebraist/trunk/aldor/lib/libax0/axlit.as
https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/algebraist/trunk/aldor/lib/libax0/stub.as
https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/algebraist/trunk/aldor/lib/libax0/minimach.as
https://svn.origo.ethz.ch/algebraist/trunk/aldor/lib/axllib/src/lang.as
Furthermore, in order to distribute a precompiled libaxiom.al
together with FriCAS, it would be helpful to also release
$(ALDORROOT)/lib/libfoam.al(runtime.ao)
under a BSD license. For 'runtime.ao', also releasing the sources
under a BSD license would be good, but I explicitly ask for the
release of the .ao format.
Please help the FriCAS project and don't let Aldor die.
Has meanwhile anything been done to release all of the Aldor
compiler+library sources under a GPL-compatible license?
Thank you for your time.
Yours sincerely
Ralf Hemmecke
